ICU Medical will deliver with the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet a statement setting forth ICU Medical’s good faith calculation of the estimated Closing Payment, derived from the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Closing Payment”). A sample calculation of Estimated Closing Payment is set forth on Schedule 1.3(a).

If OPF-US raises any reasonable objections to the foregoing statements and calculations, OPF-US and ICU Medical will consider in good faith such objections prior to the Closing, and ICU Medical will make such revisions to such disputed items as may be mutually agreed between ICU Medical and OPF-US. No failure by OPF-US to raise any objection or dispute pursuant to this Section 1.3(a) shall in any way prejudice OPF-US’s right to raise any matter pursuant to the remaining provisions of this Section 1.3 or otherwise. From and after delivery of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet until the Closing, ICU Medical shall not (and shall cause the Company not to) take any action outside the ordinary course of business that would alter the Estimated Closing Payment.

(b)Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, OPF-US shall prepare and deliver to ICU Medical written notice (the “Adjustment Notice”) containing (i) the unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date and containing the line items set forth on Schedule 1.3(a) (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), and (ii) OPF-US’s calculation of (A) the Closing Payment, derived from the Closing Balance Sheet, and (B) OPF-US’s calculation of the amount of any payments required to be made pursuant to Section 1.3(g) (the “Adjustment Calculation”) provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made in respect of Pre-Closing Taxes of the
3.


Company under this Section 1.3(b), which adjustment shall take place pursuant to Section 4.8(f). The Closing Balance Sheet will be prepared in accordance with GAAP. ICU Medical will permit OPF-US and its Representatives reasonable access to the personnel, properties, books and records of the Company for the purpose of preparing the Closing Balance Sheet and performing the foregoing calculations.

(c)Within thirty (30) days after delivery to ICU Medical of the Adjustment Notice, ICU Medical will deliver to OPF-US a written response in which ICU Medical will either:

(i)agree with the Adjustment Calculation, in which case such calculation will be final and binding on the parties for purposes of Section 1.3(g); or

(ii)dispute the Adjustment Calculation by delivering to OPF-US a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for each such disputed item.

(d)If ICU Medical fails to take either of the foregoing actions within thirty (30) days after delivery to ICU Medical of the Adjustment Notice, then ICU Medical will be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Adjustment Calculation, in which case, the Adjustment Calculation will be final and binding on the parties for purposes of Section 1.3(g).

(e)If ICU Medical timely delivers a Dispute Notice to OPF-US, then OPF-US and ICU Medical will attempt in good faith, for a period of forty-five (45) days following the date of delivery to OPF-US of such Dispute Notice, to agree on the Adjustment Calculation for purposes of Section 1.3(g). Any resolution by OPF-US and ICU Medical during such forty-five (45)-day period as to any disputed items will be final and binding on the parties for purposes of Section 1.3(g). If OPF-US and ICU Medical do not resolve all disputed items by the end of forty-five (45) days after the date of delivery of the Dispute Notice, then OPF-US and ICU Medical will submit a list of the remaining disputed items (the “Unresolved Items”) and the respective values attributable thereto to a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreed by ICU Medical and OPF-US, which firm shall not be the regular auditing firm of OPF-US, ICU Medical or the Company (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) for resolution. OPF-US and ICU Medical will instruct the Independent Accounting Firm to render its determination with respect to the Unresolved Items in a written report that specifies the conclusions of the Independent Accounting Firm as to each Unresolved Item and the resulting Closing Payment and Adjustment Calculation, in each case based solely on the written reports submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm by OPF-US or ICU Medical (i.e., not on independent review and acting as an expert and not an arbitrator) and on the definitions and other terms included herein; provided, that in resolving an Unresolved Item, the Independent Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party, in the written reports presented to the Independent Accounting Firm. OPF-US and ICU Medical will each use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render its determination within thirty (30) days after referral of the items to such firm or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable. The resolution of the Unresolved Items by the Independent Accounting Firm will be conclusive and binding on the Parties absent manifest error or fraud. ICU Medical will revise the Closing Balance Sheet and the Adjustment Calculation as appropriate to reflect the resolution of
4.


the issues in dispute pursuant to this Section 1.3(e). The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm will be shared by OPF-US and ICU Medical, in inverse proportion to the relative amounts of the disputed amount determined to be for the account of OPF-US and ICU Medical, respectively.

(f)For purposes of complying with Section 1.3(e), OPF-US and ICU Medical will furnish to each other and to the Independent Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information relating to the Unresolved Items as the Independent Accounting Firm may request and are available to that party (or its independent public accountants) and will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accounting Firm any material related to the Unresolved Items and to discuss the items with the Independent Accounting Firm, provided, that (i) each Party will provide the other Party with a copy of all materials provided to, and communications with, the Independent Accounting Firm, and (ii) no Party (or any of its Affiliates or representatives) will engage in any ex parte communication with the Independent Accounting Firm at any time with respect to the Unresolved Items. OPF-US may require that the Independent Accounting Firm enter into a customary form of confidentiality agreement with respect to the work papers and other documents and information relating to the Company provided to the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 1.3.

(g)If the Closing Payment as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.3 (the “Final Closing Payment”) is:

(i)less than the Estimated Closing Payment, then within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Payment, the amount of such shortfall shall be paid to OPF-US directly by ICU Medical by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by OPF-US; or

(ii)greater than the Estimated Closing Payment, then within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Final Closing Payment, OPF-US shall pay the amount of such difference to ICU Medical by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a US bank account designated by ICU Medical.

Any payment made pursuant to this Section 1.3 will be treated by the parties for all purposes as an adjustment to the Estimated Closing Payment.

1.4Milestone Payments. Following the Closing, a Milestone Payment may be earned and, if earned, as set forth in this Section 1.4, shall be paid by OPF-US to ICU Medical as provided in this Section 1.4:

(b)Within ninety (90) days after delivery to the Parties of the 2026 Financial Statements, ICU Medical and OPF-US will each deliver to the Company a written response in which each of ICU Medical and OPF-US will either:

(ii)dispute the 2026 Financial Statement by delivering to the Company a written notice (“Financial Statement Dispute Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for each such disputed item.

(c)If the Parties fail to take either of the actions set forth in Section 1.4(b), then the 2026 Financial Statements will be deemed to have irrevocably accepted, in which case, the 2026 Financial Statements will be final and binding on the Parties for purposes of this Section 1.4.

(d)If either Party timely delivers a Financial Statement Dispute Notice, then the provisions of Section 1.3(e) and Section 1.3(f) shall apply mutatis mutandis.

(e)To the extent the Company has any Incremental Net Revenue, then OPF-US shall pay ICU Medical an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of such Incremental Net Revenue (the “Incremental Net Revenue Milestone Payment”) via wire transfer of immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days of the final determination of the 2026 Financial Statements pursuant to this Section 1.4.

(f)To the extent the Company has any Incremental Gross Profit, then OPF-US shall pay ICU Medical an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of such Incremental Gross Profit multiplied by six (6) (the “Incremental Gross Profit Milestone Payment”) via wire transfer of immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days of the final determination of the 2026 Financial Statements pursuant to this Section 1.4.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give to OPF-US, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct operations of ICU Medical prior to the Closing.

4.2Access to Information. During the Pre-Closing Period, ICU Medical and ICU Medical Sales shall, and shall cause their respective officers, directors, and employees to afford OPF-US and its Representatives, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice to ICU Medical and ICU Medical Sales and in a manner that will not unreasonably disrupt the personnel of or unduly interfere with the operation of the Business, reasonable access at all reasonable times to the Contributed Assets for the purpose of inspecting the same, which access shall be at OPF-US’s sole expense, and to the officers and management-level employees of ICU Medical and ICU Medical Sales, and shall, as OPF-US may reasonably request, furnish OPF-US and its authorized representatives reasonably requested financial, operating, and other data and information to the extent related to the Business or the Contributed Assets, except to the extent that such access would violate any Legal Requirement to which ICU Medical, ICU Medical Sales, their respective employees or the Contributed Assets are subject. Notwithstanding
23.


anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement neither ICU Medical nor its Affiliates shall be required to disclose to OPF-US, its Affiliates or Representatives any information if (i) doing so would, in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to ICU Medical, constitute a waiver of the attorney-client or other privilege held by ICU Medical or its Affiliates, or (ii) ICU Medical or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and OPF-US and any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse parties in litigation and such information is reasonably pertinent to the claims or defenses of OPF-US or any of its Affiliates in connection therewith.

4.3Filings and Consents. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.3(b) (which applies with respect to filings as required by the HSR Act), OPF-US and ICU Medical shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that: (i) all filings, notices and Consents required to be made, given and obtained in order to consummate the Transactions are made, given and obtained on a timely basis; (ii) during the Pre-Closing Period, OPF-US and ICU Medical and their respective Representatives cooperate with one another, and prepare and make available such documents and take such other actions as the other may request in good faith, in connection with any filing, notice or Consent that the other is required to make, give or obtain. On or before the Closing, ICU Medical shall obtain (and provide OPF-US with reasonable evidence thereof) the release of any Encumbrance on any of the Contributed Assets or Licensed Intellectual Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances).

(b)Unless this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 7, OPF-US and ICU Medical shall (i) within twenty (20) Business Days after the date hereof file with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice Notification and Report Forms relating to the Transactions as required by the HSR Act and (ii) promptly submit with the applicable Governmental Body any additional filings required pursuant to Antitrust Laws as may be mutually agreed between ICU Medical and OPF-US. Each of OPF-US and ICU Medical shall reasonably cooperate in such filings and promptly supply the other Party with any information which may be reasonably required in order to effectuate such filings. Each of OPF-US and ICU Medical shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the prompt expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act and other applicable Antitrust Laws, provided that (X) nothing herein shall require OPF-US or ICU Medical to propose, negotiate, agree to, accept the imposition of, commit to or effect, by agreement, consent decree, hold separate order or other order or otherwise, to sell, divest, hold separate, lease, license, transfer, dispose of, otherwise encumber, limit, restrict or impair or otherwise take any other action with respect to its ability to own or operate any assets, properties, businesses or product lines or its ability to own or operate any assets, properties, business or product lines (including of the Business), and (Y) if either OPF-US or ICU Medical receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Body with respect to the Transactions, then such party will use reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, promptly and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response. Each of OPF-US and ICU Medical will notify the other Party promptly upon the receipt of (i) any comments from any Governmental Body in connection with any filings made pursuant hereto or in connection with the Transactions and (ii) any request by any Governmental Body for amendments or supplements to any filings made pursuant to, or information provided to comply in all material respects with, any Legal Requirement with respect to the Transaction, including the requirements of the HSR Act; and (iii) any request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Body with respect to the Transactions, and if in writing, furnish the other party with copies of (or in the case of oral
24.


communications, advise the other party orally of) any material communications with or from any Governmental Body regarding the Transactions, and permit the other party to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any such governmental filing, submission, or other document or communication with any such Governmental Body. Whenever any event occurs that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any filing made pursuant to this Section 4.3(c), the Party required to make such amendment or supplement will promptly inform the other Party of such occurrence and file with the applicable Governmental Body such amendment or supplement. Each of OPF-US and ICU Medical shall give one another prompt notice of the commencement or known threat of commencement of any Proceeding by or before any Governmental Body with respect to the proposed acquisition by OPF-US of the Purchased Units, keep one another informed as to the status of any such proceeding or threat, and in connection with any such proceeding, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirement, permit Representatives of the other Party to be present at each meeting or conference relating to any such proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Body in connection with any such proceeding. Upon the terms and conditions set forth herein (including the third sentence of this Section 4.3(b)), each of OPF-US and ICU Medical shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things, necessary, proper or advisable to obtain approval as required by any Governmental Body and expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act. All filing fees incurred in connection with the filings contemplated by this Section 4.3(b) shall be paid and borne 100% by OPF-US, but each Party shall be responsible for any other fees or expenses (including legal costs) that it incurs in connection with such filings.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, OPF-US and ICU Medical may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive or business confidential material provided to the other under this Section 4.3 as “outside counsel/corporate in-house antitrust counsel only” or “outside counsel” only. Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel or outside legal counsel and corporate inhouse antitrust counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel and corporate in-house antitrust counsel to employees (other than corporate in-house antitrust counsel), officers, or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (OPF-US and ICU Medical, as the case may be) or its legal counsel. Materials provided pursuant to this Section 4.3 may be redacted (i) to remove personally sensitive information, (ii) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Business or any other business of ICU Medical or the process in which ICU Medical has engaged in connection with a sale of the Business, (iii) as necessary to comply with contractual obligations, (iv) as necessary to comply with applicable Legal Requirements, (v) to remove business confidential information unrelated to the Transaction, and (vi) as necessary to avoid waiver of privilege. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, OPF-US shall have the right, following good faith consultation and consideration of the views of ICU Medical, to direct the strategy for obtaining any necessary approval in connection with the filings contemplated by this Section 4.3(b).

4.4No Solicitation. During the period (the No-Solicitation Period”) commencing as of the date of this Agreement and ending on the earlier to occur of (a) the termination of this Agreement and (b) the Closing, ICU Medical shall not and shall cause ICU Medical’s respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) enter into, solicit, initiate or continue any discussions or negotiations with, or encourage or respond to any inquiries or proposals by, or participate in any negotiations with, or provide any information to, or otherwise cooperate in any other way with, any Person, other than ICU Medical and its Representatives, concerning any sale, lease, or license of all or any substantial portion of the Business or the Contributed Assets, or (ii) provide any nonpublic information regarding the Contributed Assets or the Business to any Person in response to any proposal described in clause (i) above.

4.5Notification. During the Pre-Closing Period, each of OPF-US and ICU Medical shall promptly notify one another in writing of: (i) the discovery by it of any event, condition, fact or circumstance that occurred or existed on or prior to the date of this Agreement and that caused or constitutes a material breach of any representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement; (ii) any event, condition, fact or circumstance that occurs, arises or exists after the date of this Agreement and that would cause or constitute a material breach of any representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement if (A) such representation or warranty had been made as of the time of the occurrence, existence or discovery of such event, condition, fact or circumstance, or (B) such event, condition, fact or circumstance had occurred, arisen or existed on or prior to the date of this Agreement; (iii) any breach of any covenant or obligation of it; and (iv) any event, condition, fact or circumstance that may make the timely satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Section 5 or Section 6, as applicable, impossible or unlikely.

4.6Publicity. Each Party shall ensure that, during the Pre-Closing Period: (i) neither it nor any of its Representatives issues or disseminates any press release or other publicity or otherwise makes any disclosure of any nature to any other Person (other than a Representative of the Party making such disclosure) regarding any of the Transactions or the existence or terms of this Agreement, except to the extent that such Party is required by any Legal Requirement to make any such disclosure (it being understood that OPF-US and ICU Medical shall (A) issue a joint press release following the execution hereof which shall have been approved by each of OPF-US and ICU Medical and (B) file one or more reports on Form 8-K with the Securities Exchange Commission or such other reports as may be required by a Governmental Body); and (ii) if it is required by any Legal Requirement to make any such disclosure, it shall advise the other Parties, at least five (5) Business Days before making such disclosure, of the nature and content of the proposed disclosure and consider in good faith comments from such other Parties concerning such proposed disclosure.

4.7Reasonable Best Efforts. Promptly following the date hereof and continuing through the Pre‑Closing Period, each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 to be satisfied on a timely basis. Each Party shall also negotiate in good faith and use its reasonable best efforts to negotiate and agree upon (a) final
26.


forms of the Commercial Agreements, the Services Agreement, and the License Agreement, in each case incorporating the principles set forth in Exhibit E, Exhibit F and Exhibit G, respectively and (b) any agreements necessary to operate the Business as operated in the ordinary course prior to Closing, including (i) a commercial agreement to ensure that the benefits relating to the Canadian Business shall have the effect of transferring as of Closing, (ii) a supply agreement pursuant to which ICU Medical shall provide supply of plastic components out of Costa Rica, (iii) a contract manufacturing agreement pursuant to which ICU Medical shall provide the Rio product to the Company, and (iv) a supply agreement pursuant to which ICU Medical shall provide supply of empty bags to the Company to support inventory shipments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither ICU Medical nor any of its Affiliates shall be obligated to make any payments or otherwise pay any consideration to any third party to obtain any Consent, except (x) to the extent such payment is expressly required in connection with obtaining any such Consent pursuant to the Contract with such third party or (y) with respect to filing, recordation or similar fees payable to any Governmental Body for which ICU Medical is responsible pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

4.8Tax Matters.

(a)The Parties acknowledge that the transactions effected pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and this Agreement are intended to be treated as follows for U.S. federal income Tax purposes and any relevant state or local income Tax purposes:

(i)The contribution of the Contributed Assets by ICU Medical and ICU Medical Sales to the Company in exchange for Units under the Contribution Agreement shall be treated as contributions of property to a partnership in exchange for interests in a partnership that is governed by Section 721 of the Code; and

(ii)The purchase and sale of the Purchased Units under this Agreement shall be treated as the purchase by OPF-US of an interest in a partnership from the ICU Medical Entities that is governed by Sections 741, 743(b), and 751 of the Code (except with respect to any portion of any Milestone Payment representing imputed interest under Sections 483 or 1274 of the Code).

The Parties, as applicable, shall, for all Tax purposes, report (and cause their respective Affiliates to report) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with the intended Tax treatment described in this Section 4.8(a), and not (and cause their respective Affiliates to not) take any position inconsistent therewith, except as otherwise required pursuant to a final “determination” as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any corresponding or similar provision of applicable Legal Requirement) or in connection with a good-faith resolution of an audit or another proceeding by a Governmental Body related to Taxes. From the Closing through the later of (A) six (6) months after the Closing Date and (B) January 1, 2026, the ICU Medical Entities shall ensure that each remains a separate corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and holds at least 1% of the Units in the Company.

(b)The Company shall make an election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code for its taxable year that includes the Closing Date. For U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income Tax purposes, the parties agree that the Purchase Price (together with any adjustments thereto and any assumed liabilities, costs, payments and any other amounts properly
27.


characterized as consideration for Tax purposes, but excluding imputed interest) shall be allocable among the assets of the Company and the covenants described in Section 9.1 in accordance with Sections 743(b), 751, 755 and 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Allocation”). Within thirty (30) days after the final determination of the Final Closing Payment under Section 1.3, OPF-US will deliver to ICU Medical a proposed Allocation (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Milestone Payment). ICU Medical shall notify OPF-US in writing of any objections to the proposed Allocation within thirty (30) days after ICU Medical receives such proposed Allocation. If ICU Medical does not notify OPF-US of any objections to the proposed Allocation within that thirty (30)-day period, the proposed Allocation shall be construed as final. If ICU Medical notifies OPF-US of an objection to any item in the Allocation by the end of the thirty (30)-day period, OPF-US and ICU Medical shall attempt in good faith to resolve the item in dispute. The Parties agree that, for all Tax purposes if

and to the extent the Parties agree on the Allocation, the transactions contemplated in this Agreement will be reported in a manner that is consistent with such final Allocation, and none of them (nor any of their respective Affiliates) will take any position inconsistent therewith on any Tax Return or otherwise unless otherwise required by Legal Requirement.

(c)Within ninety (90) days after the Closing, ICU Medical shall deliver to the Company: (i) a complete and correct list of the income tax basis of each item of tangible and intangible property included in the Contributed Assets, (ii) the year of acquisition of each such item of tangible or intangible property, (iii) the depreciable life of each such item of tangible or intangible property, and (iv) the amount and method of depreciation with respect to each such item of tangible or intangible property.

(d)The Parties agree to retain, and to cause the Company to retain, all records relating to the Taxes of the Business or the Contributed Assets for all taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date or which include the Closing Date until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including any extensions thereof) for the taxable period or periods to which such records relate. Consistent with Section 9 of this Agreement, OPF-US and ICU Medical agree to provide each other, and to cause the Company to provide to OPF-US and ICU Medical, such information and assistance as is reasonably necessary, including access to records and personnel, for the preparation of any Tax Returns or for the defense of any Tax claim or assessment that relates to the Business or the Contributed Assets, whether in connection with an audit or otherwise.

(e)On or prior to the Closing Date, ICU Medical shall deliver to OPF-US a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9. On or prior to the date of the Contribution Agreement, each of ICU Medical and ICU Medical Sales shall have delivered to the Company a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9.

(f)Within thirty (30) days after the filing of all Tax Returns (excluding any Flowthrough Tax Return) required to be filed by the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Periods (including, for the avoidance of any doubt, any Straddle Tax Periods), OPF-US shall prepare and deliver to ICU Medical written notice containing OPF-US’s calculation of the excess of (i) the aggregate amount of the Pre-Closing Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns (excluding any Flowthrough Tax Return) over (ii) the amount of Pre-Closing Taxes taken into account in calculating the Estimated Closing Payment (such calculation, the “Tax Adjustment Calculation
28.


and such amount, the “Tax Adjustment Amount”). The provisions set forth in Sections 1.3(c)-(e) shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Tax Adjustment Calculation. If the Tax Adjustment Amount as finally determined pursuant to this Section 4.8(f) is positive, then within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the final Tax Adjustment Amount, ICU Medical shall pay such amount to OPF-US by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by OPF-US. If the Tax Adjustment Amount as finally determined pursuant to this Section 4.8(f) is negative, then within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the final Tax Adjustment Amount, OPF-US shall pay such amount to ICU Medical by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by ICU Medical. To the extent that a Tax asset of the Company as of the Closing Date is not taken into account in the definition of Indebtedness or Net Current Assets to offset a Tax Liability, and the Company is (i) able to utilize such Tax asset to offset Taxes in a taxable period after the Closing Date or (ii) the Company receives a Tax refund with respect to such Tax asset, the Company shall promptly pay 60% of such amounts to ICU Medical within fifteen (15) days of utilizing such Tax asset or receiving such Tax refund.

































29.


4.9Update of Schedules. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, no later than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, ICU Medical may update or supplement the Disclosure Schedule for the purpose of reflecting (a) any Findings, (b) events or occurrences occurring after the date hereof by providing to OPF-US an updated or supplemented Disclosure Schedule or (c) if applicable, additional detail regarding the Contributed Assets or Assumed Liabilities that will be transferred to the Company under the Contribution Agreement (in each case, which shall be marked to show changes against the original Disclosure Schedule). Such updated parts of the Disclosure Schedule shall, solely for the purpose of Section 6.1 hereof (and not for the purpose of Section 8 hereof), be deemed to have amended the relevant parts of the Disclosure Schedule unless the events or occurrences reflected in such updated or supplemented parts of the Disclosure Schedule have or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

If the Company is unable to obtain such a credit facility as of the Closing, OPF-US shall provide a short-term loan to the Company in the amount of $40,000,000 (a “Bridge Loan”), to be used to finance working capital needs of the Company for such reasonable period of time as may be necessary such that customary diligence and credit procedures are able to be performed by a reputable financial institution in connection with the provision of a customary commercial credit facility. The Bridge Loan will bear interest, and contain such other terms and conditions, as is customary for arms-length financing arrangements and as reasonably agreed upon by ICU Medical and OPF-US.


4.12Establishment of Transferee Plans; Employment of Certain Employee. ICU Medical shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company in establishing the Transferee Plans (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) prior to Closing. At the Closing, OPF-US shall use commercially reasonable efforts to employ the employee set forth on Schedule 4.12, and OPF-US acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to the employment of such employee, the provisions set forth in Section 3.2 of the Contribution Agreement shall apply to OPF-US, mutatis mutandis, to the same extent as such provisions apply to the “Transferee” party thereto; provided, however, that the last sentence of Section 3.2 of the Contribution Agreement shall not be applicable to this Section 4.12.

The representations and warranties made by the ICU Medical Entities in Section 2 and by OPF-US in Section 3 shall survive the Closing until twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date; provided that the representations and warranties made the ICU Medical Entities in (i) Section 2.1 (Due Organization; Authority; Binding Nature of Agreements; Units), Section 2.11(a) (Non-Contravention; Consents) (clauses (i) and (iii) only) and Section 2.16 (No Brokers) shall survive the Closing until six (6) years after the Closing Date and (ii) Section 2.15 (Taxes) shall survive the Closing until sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (collectively, the representations and warranties in clauses (i) and (ii), the “Fundamental Representations”). The covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement will survive until performed in accordance with their terms, but no right to indemnification pursuant to Section 8 in respect of any indemnification claim based upon any breach of a covenant or agreement shall be affected by the expiration of such covenant or agreement. If a Claim Notice (as defined below) is given to the appropriate party on or prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.1, such survival period shall not expire, but rather shall remain in full force and effect until such time as such indemnification claims has been fully and finally resolved.

(b)An Indemnitee shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the indemnifying party of any indemnification claim made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee, reasonably promptly, but in any event, if such indemnification claim relates to the assertion against an Indemnitee of any third party claim, within fifteen (15) days after receipt by such Indemnitee of written notice of a Proceeding relating to such third party claim, except that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party within such time period shall not relieve the
34.


indemnifying party of any obligation or liability to the Indemnitee, except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that its ability to resolve such indemnification claim is materially and adversely affected thereby. The Claim Notice will specify in reasonable detail (based on the information then-possessed by the Indemnitee) the nature of the indemnification claim and the amount of Damages associated therewith, if known, and otherwise a reasonable estimate of the amount of the anticipated Damages associated therewith, if capable of being estimated.

(c)Unless the indemnifying party contests the indemnification claim in writing delivered to the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Claim Notice and describing in reasonable detail the basis for contesting the indemnification claim, the Indemnitee shall, subject to the other terms of Section 8, be paid the amount of Damages related to such indemnification claim or the uncontested portion thereof. If the indemnifying party has delivered a timely written notice disputing an indemnification claim, then the Indemnitee and the indemnifying party shall attempt in good faith for a thirty (30)-day period following the Indemnitee’s receipt of such written notice to resolve such disputed indemnification claim. Any disputed indemnification claim shall be resolved either (i) in a written agreement signed by the indemnifying party and the Indemnitee or (ii) in accordance with Section 10.16.

8.2Indemnification by ICU Medical.

(a)If the Closing occurs, ICU Medical shall hold harmless and indemnify the Company Indemnitees and the OPF-US Indemnitees from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse the Company Indemnitees and the OPF-US Indemnitees for, any Damages that are suffered or incurred by the Company Indemnitees or the ICU Medical Indemnitees (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third‑party claim) that arise from:

(ii)any breach of or noncompliance with any covenant or obligation of the ICU Medical Entities contained in this Agreement or of any breach or noncompliance by the Company of any covenant or obligation of the Company contained in the Contribution Agreement, in each case, to the extent occurring prior to the Closing Date; or

35.


Damages arising from any other breaches of any representations or warranties) that have been suffered or incurred by the Company Indemnitees and the OPF-US Indemnitees exceeds $3,000,000, in which case the Company Indemnitees and the OPF-US Indemnitees shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed only for that portion of such Damages that exceed $3,000,000. The total amount of Damages which ICU Medical shall be obligated to pay to the Company Indemnitees or ICU Medical Indemnitees pursuant to clause (i) of Section 8.2(a) of this Agreement (other than with respect to Fundamental Representations) shall not exceed $24,000,000 in the aggregate, and the total amount of Damages which ICU Medical shall be obligated to pay to the Company Indemnitees or ICU Medical Indemnitees with respect to Fundamental Representations pursuant to clause (i) of Section 8.2(a) of this Agreement shall not exceed $300,000,000; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations shall in no way limit the Damages that any OPF-US Indemnitee or any Company Indemnitee may recover in respect of Sections 8.2(a)(ii) or Section 8.2(a)(iii), or in the event of fraud.

(c)For purposes of determining the failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct and calculating the amount of Damages hereunder, any qualifications in the representations and warranties herein as to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or words of similar import (other than the reference to Material Adverse Effect in Section 2.7) shall be disregarded.

8.3Indemnification by OPF-US.

(a)From and after the date of this Agreement, OPF-US shall hold harmless and indemnify the ICU Medical Indemnitees from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse the ICU Medical Indemnitees for, any Damages that are suffered or incurred, directly or indirectly, by the ICU Medical Indemnitees (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third‑party claim) that arise from:

(i)any breach of any of the representations or warranties made by OPF-US in Section 3 of this Agreement or the failure of any such representations or warranties to be true and correct as of the Closing Date; or

(ii)any breach of any covenant or obligation of OPF-US contained in this Agreement.

(b)OPF-US shall not be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to clause (i) of Section 8.3(a) until such time as the total amount of all Damages (including the Damages arising from such breach and all other Damages arising from any other breaches of any representations or warranties) that have been suffered or incurred by the ICU Medical Indemnitees exceeds $3,000,000, in which case the ICU Medical Indemnitees shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed only for that portion of such Damages that exceed $3,000,000. The total amount of Damages which OPF-US shall be obligated to pay to the ICU Medical Indemnitees pursuant to clause (i) of Section 8.3(a) shall not exceed $24,000,000 in the aggregate; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations shall in no way limit the Damages that any ICU Medical Indemnitee may recover for a breach of the representation in Section 3.1, in respect of Section 8.3(a)(ii) or in the event of fraud.

8.4Setoff. The Parties agree that any payments required to be made by any Party
36.


pursuant to this Section 8 shall be made without any withholding, deduction or set-off, and each Party agrees not to assert a right of set-off at common law or otherwise. All amounts paid with respect to indemnity claims under this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties for all Tax purposes as purchase price adjustments to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements.

8.5 Defense of Third Party Claims. In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person (other than any Party hereto) of any claim or Proceeding (whether against OPF-US, ICU Medical or the Company, or against any other Indemnitee or against any other Person) with respect to which any Party may become obligated to indemnify, hold harmless, compensate or reimburse any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 8, the indemnifying party shall have the right, at its election, to either (i) assume the defense of such claim, or (ii) designate the Indemnitee to assume the defense of such claim or Proceeding at the sole expense of the indemnifying party; provided, that the indemnifying party shall not have the right to control the defense of such claim if (A) the Indemnitee reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the claim or Proceeding would be materially detrimental to or materially injure the Indemnitee’s reputation or future business prospects, (B) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnitee, (C) the Indemnitee has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the indemnifying party and the Indemnitee, (D) the indemnifying party has failed or is failing to diligently prosecute or defend such claim, or (E) the Indemnitee reasonably believes that the losses relating to such claim would exceed the maximum amount that the Indemnitee could then be entitled to recover under the applicable provisions of this Section 8. If the indemnifying party so elects to designate the Indemnitee to assume the defense of any such claim or Proceeding, or if the Indemnitee assumes such defense in accordance with this Section 8.5:

(a)the Indemnitee shall proceed to defend such claim or Proceeding in a diligent manner with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party;

(b)the indemnifying party shall make available to the Indemnitee any non-privileged documents and materials in the possession or control of the indemnifying party that may be necessary to the defense of such claim or Proceeding;

(c)the Indemnitee shall keep the indemnifying party reasonably informed of all material developments and events relating to such claim or Proceeding;

(d)the indemnifying party (at its own expense) shall have the right to participate in the defense of such claim or Proceeding;

(e)the Indemnitee shall not settle, adjust or compromise such claim or Proceeding without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that such consent will not be considered to have been unreasonably withheld if the settlement, adjustment or compromise does not provide for a full release of the indemnifying party from any further claims with respect to the matter at issue;

37.


(f)the indemnifying party may, subject to this Section 8.5, at any time (notwithstanding the prior designation of the Indemnitee to assume the defense of such claim or Proceeding) assume the defense of such claim or Proceeding at its own expense;

(g)all reasonable expenses relating to the defense of such claim or Proceeding shall be borne and paid exclusively by the indemnifying party.

If the indemnifying party elects to assume the defense of such claim or Proceeding:

(i)all reasonable expenses relating to the defense of such claim or Proceeding shall be borne and paid exclusively by the indemnifying party;

(ii)the Indemnitee shall make available to the indemnifying party any documents and materials in the possession or control of the Indemnitee that may be necessary to the defense of such claim or Proceeding;

(iii)the indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably informed of all material developments and events relating to such claim or Proceeding; and

(iv)the indemnifying party shall not settle, adjust or compromise such claim or Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that such consent will not be considered to have been unreasonably withheld if the settlement, adjustment or compromise does not provide for a full release of the Indemnitee from any further claims with respect to the matter at issue.

8.6Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Other than in the event of fraud, (i) the indemnification rights set forth in this Section 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Party following the Closing with respect to any claim directly or indirectly (whether in tort, at law or in equity) for Damages arising out of or resulting from this Agreement, and (ii) the dispute resolution procedures in Section 10.16 shall be the sole method by which to resolve any such claim; provided, that nothing contained herein shall prevent a Party from pursuing remedies against third parties or remedies as may be available to such Party for injunctive or other equitable relief pursuant to Section 10.9.

8.7Exercise of Remedies by Indemnitees other than Parties to this Agreement. No Indemnitee (other than the Parties or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless the applicable Party entitled to indemnification (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall have consented in writing to the assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy.

8.8Calculation of Damages.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that in the event any payment is required to be made by a Party pursuant to this Section 8 in respect of any Damages, to the extent the indemnifiable Damage is suffered by any Company Indemnitee (and not by an OPF Indemnitee) pursuant to Section 8.2, ICU Medical shall pay or cause to be paid 100% of the amount of such Damage to
38.


such Company Indemnitee or, at the election of OPF-US, ICU Medical shall pay or cause to be paid 60% of the amount of such Damage to an OPF Indemnitee; provided, that in no event shall ICU Medical or any of its Affiliates be required to pay any amount in excess of 100% of the amount of Damages suffered by such Company Indemnitee.

8.9Mitigation of Damages.

Any Indemnitee hereunder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or mitigate any Damages which in the absence of mitigation would reasonably be expected to give rise to a Liability in respect of any indemnification claim under this Agreement upon becoming aware of any event or circumstances that give rise to such indemnification claim; provided that no such Indemnitee shall be required to take any action or refrain from taking any action that is contrary to any applicable Contract or Legal Requirement binding on such Indemnitee.

9.POST CLOSING COVENANTS.

9.1Deferred Contribution.

(a)The Deferred Contribution will take place at the end of the month in which the Company has met all regulatory conditions and requirements under all Legal Requirements applicable to the operation of the Business in Canada (the “Canadian Regulatory Requirements”) to the reasonable satisfaction of each of ICU Medical and OPF-US, which the Parties anticipate will be within eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date.

(b)During the period between the Closing Date and the Deferred Contribution Date (the “Interim Period”), the Parties will work together in good faith and will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to satisfy the Canadian Regulatory Requirements as soon as practicable after the Closing Date. All costs associated with satisfying the Canadian Regulatory Requirements shall be borne by the Company.

(c)During the Interim Period, ICU Medical shall continue to operate the Business in Canada on behalf of the Company in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and provide the Company with the net economic benefit of such operations, such that the Company receives the same net economic benefit as if the Deferred Contribution had been completed concurrently with the Contribution. Prior to Closing, the parties will work together reasonably and in good faith to mutually agree on how such net economic benefit will be calculated and determined.. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the actions taken by either ICU Medical or ICU Medical pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) shall be deemed a breach of their respective obligations under Section 31 of the Restated Operating Agreement.

(d)On the Deferred Contribution Date, ICU Medical and ICU Medical Sales shall enter into a Contribution Agreement in a form substantially similar to Exhibit C and to the reasonable satisfaction of the Parties to affect the contribution of the Canadian Business Assets to the Company; provided, however, that neither ICU Medical nor ICU Medical Sales shall receive any additional Units (as defined in the Restated Operating Agreement) in connection with such contribution.

43.


(b)Upon the written request (a “Request”) of any Party, the relevant Parties shall commence good faith negotiations with the goal of resolving the Dispute on a mutually satisfactory basis. If the Dispute has not been resolved to the satisfaction of all relevant Parties within 15 days after the date on which the Request is delivered, the Dispute shall immediately be referred to senior officers of each relevant Party.

If the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute within 35 calendar days after the date on which the Request is delivered, then any relevant party may submit the Dispute to arbitration as the exclusive means of resolving it in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section.

(c)Except as otherwise specified in this Section, any Dispute not resolved through the procedure set forth above shall be finally settled by arbitration in accordance with the Rules and Procedures of the American Arbitration Association (the “Arbitration Rules”), which are deemed to be incorporated by reference herein except as otherwise modified herein.

(g)Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, each party will, upon the written request of the other party, provide the other with copies of documents relevant to the issue raised by any claim or counterclaim. Other discovery may be ordered by the panel to the extent the panel deems additional discovery relevant and appropriate, and any dispute regarding discovery, relevance or scope thereof, shall be determined by the panel, which determination shall be conclusive.

(h)By agreeing to arbitration, the parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, injunctive or other equitable relief or an order in aid of arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies in aid of arbitration as may be available under the jurisdiction of a national court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect.

44.


(i)The award shall be final and binding upon the parties, and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues, or accounting presented to the arbitral tribunal in connection with the Dispute. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction thereof.

(j)The costs of the arbitration shall be borne as determined in accordance with the Arbitration Rules; provided, however, that to the extent a party is non-prevailing or unsuccessful on a claim in an arbitration proceeding under this Section, as determined by the arbitrator(s), that party shall pay the prevailing or successful party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the arbitration of that Dispute, including attorneys’ fees and arbitration expenses, whether or not such Dispute is prosecuted to award or judgment.

(k)Subject to the receipt of any applicable governmental approval, any monetary award shall be made and promptly payable in U.S. dollars if due in U.S. dollars, free of any deduction or offset, and the arbitral tribunal shall be authorized in its discretion to grant pre-award and post-award interest at commercial rates. The arbitral tribunal shall have the authority to award any remedy or relief proposed by the claimants or respondents pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, a declaratory judgment, specific performance of any obligation created under this Agreement or the issuance of an injunction.
